I will grant that our Armenian friend’s English is not very good, but I am tolerant of language mistakes made by someone whose native language is not English, whether that person lives in the US or if they live overseas.

On the other hand, US-born people who are unable to communicate correctly in their native English (“college girl” comes to mind, as well as the woman who stated, “husband thinks he fixed are air car”) are another thing entirely. While the US educational system is frequently blamed for their poor language skills, pure laziness and lack of interest in education are also to blame and, in fact, are probably more at fault than the educational system in this country.

Jean77–don’t worry too much about your English skills right now. If you can improve those skills, it will benefit you in many ways, but in the meantime, it does appear that we can all understand what you are asking us.
